Mar 26, 2016 | Graduation, Masculine, Sale-A-Bration 2016 |
The days are going so quickly. It’s hard to believe March is almost over and Easter is this weekend! It just snuck up on me! I’ll be getting ready for lunch for 30 people on Sunday as our family comes in from all over the SouthEastern US to join us for the day. I have a few littles this year so there will be an Easter egg hunt but probably inside as the weather man is predicting rain.
But back to Sale-A-Bration – there are 5 more days – so hurry and place an order if you have any of them on your wish list. Today’s set is the Perfect Pairings stamp set. It’s a perfect set for every stamper even the beginner – pair up the different words to create a bunch of different greetings for all of your cards!
This is a perfect graduation card or a congrats on landing a job or completing a goal – achieving a new title or other accomplishment. And it’s a fun card with a short front and a peek-a-boo strip of Designer Paper. It’s actually on the inside of the card and peeks out under the star when the card is closed.
I received this card idea in the mail and just made a few minor changes to it. I love that demonstrators share ideas. On line and through swapping. I’m preparing now for swapping with my demo friends in Salt Lake City at the OnStage Live event in April. I have a lot to do over the next few weeks!
So here is a $50 order suggestion: the three punches come to exactly $50!
Here are the supplies for this card:

Here are a couple of other card ideas using this stamp set – it works as a Valentine, for birthdays, for graduations and congratulations on a new job or opportunity. It’s a nice masculine set.
For the birthday card I added the Sweet Lil’ Things washi tape, the small star punch, and the circle framelits. Colors are Baked Brown Sugar, Hello Honey and Pool Party.
On the congratulation card – I made this one for Tyler when he graduated college in December – I added Linen Thread and the Circle Framelits. Colors are Soft Suede with the Very Vanilla.

Are you in need of another masculine card this month – maybe for Father’s Day or a birthday. I created this card for a class I had this week – change up the words for the occasion you need.
I used the Tap, Tap, Tap and Gorgeous Grunge stamp sets. Early Espresso and Crumb Cake are the main colors. The typewriter is stamped on one of the Project Life Grid Cards. It was more white than I wanted it to be so I stamped it and sponged it with Crumb Cake until it was toned down quite a bit.
Other ideas for this card were to use as a Retirement card – since someone retiring would know what the typewrite was. I never thought about the fact that our kids may not even know! I should ask my boys if they know what it is. Sometimes its hard to imagine how things have changed since we were kids and how some things don’t even exist anymore! And all the things we have now that have been invented since we were born!

That’s right there is only one more week left to order from the 2014-2015 Annual Stampin’ Up! Catalog and the 2015 Occasions Catalog. One more week to get the deals on the retired list. So it’s almost time to say our goodbyes including a big good bye to My Digital Studio – at least to new downloads, software support and the print service through Stampin’ Up!. You can still use your program, add digital content from other sources and print through other services.
June 2nd is the last day for ordering physical product from the catalogs. Additionally here is some information about My Digital Studio:
New Dates
We have extended the availability date for MyDigitalStudio.net, the digital download manager, and our MDS YouTube, Facebook, and Pinterest pages through midnight, June 9, 2015. Demonstrators and customers may call Demonstrator Support for assistance with MDS until Demonstrator Support closes at 7:00 PM (MT) on Tuesday, June 9.
A few things to note regarding the change in catalogs – on June 2, 2015 you will be able to order from the old catalogs and the new catalogs – for just one day! If an item is a different price in the new catalog on June 2nd the old pricing will apply and on June 3rd the new pricing will apply. The new catalog will go to an Even-Dollar pricing structure – so things that were *.95 will be a nickel more in the new catalog in most cases. There are a few items with a little more change –
- Embossing Folders are going down in price in the new catalog from 7.95 to 7.50
- The Standard Crease Pad and Cutting Pads for the Big Shot are going from 8.95 to 11
- The Big Shot is going from 99.95 to 110
- The XL punches are going from 16.95 to 18
- The Project Life grid cards are going down from 3.95 to 3.50
- Ink Pads are going from 5.95 to 6.50
- Ink Refills are going from 2.95 to 3.25
- Mini Glue dots going from 4.95 to 5.25
- Craft White ink pad and refill are going up a little 7.50 to 8 and 4.25 to 4.50
- Background stamps are going from 17.95 Wood & 13.95 Clear to 20 Wood & 15 for Clear
Those are most of the changes that I found when comparing the catalogs today.
Now on to something crafty…..
Here is a card that features one of the retiring stamp sets – Tape It. The stamps all look like different pieces of washi tape. The great thing is you can stamp them in any color ink that you want. So now you have “washi tape” in all our our Stampin’ Up! colors!
I used the And Many More stamp set to add a greeting to this card which could be used for just about anything. Stamp what you need on a strip of white card stock and staple it to the front of the card.
There is also a Paper Pumpkin Special right now through JUNE 10th –
Offer Details: Use the code SAVE50 to join Paper Pumpkin before June 10, 2015, and get 50% off the first two months! After that, keep the creativity coming for only $19.95 + tax per month (shipping included). It’s for new subscribers on a month-to-month subscription. Click here for more info and to join.
Come back tomorrow for an alternate idea using the stamp set from the May Paper Pumpkin kit.

Do you need the perfect card for Father’s Day? Did you see these “parts” that I shared on my Instagram account?
Everyone loved the colors – Soft Sky, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla – together they made a perfect father’s day card.
I used the Open Sea stamp set along with Gorgeous Grunge (it makes everything better) and the And Many More stamp set for the greeting. You can easily switch out the “BEST DAD EVER” for something else. I used two retiring items on this card the Distressing tool to distress the Soft Suede layer under the sailboat and then the Baked Brown Sugar Thick Baker’s Twine. All the rest is carrying over to the new catalog including all the stamp sets I used – yeah!
This card will be one of the choices in my Card Maker’s Class this week – Friday May 22nd. Join me for a morning or evening class – RSVP here.
Here are all the supplies:

May 11, 2015 | Big Shot, Cards, Masculine, Occasions Catalog 2015 |
This idea is really quick and easy and I’ve used it for a masculine card but it could just as easily be feminine, kids, or anything else with a change of the Designer Paper and colors.
I used the Adventure Bound Designer Series Paper stack for my card. I cut the sheets in half for this design. This paper stack is great for masculine cards it has some nice patterns on one side and then photographed images on the other. The one i used here is like a knit sweater.
The Crazy About You stamp set has become one of my favorites and if you get the bundle with the coordinating Hello You Thinlits you have endless possibilities for what you want your card to say. I cut out the word happy from Early Espresso card stock and then stamped “Father’s Day” on a strip of Whisper White card stock. I stapled both of them to my piece of Designer Paper and then put it on the front of my card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Just to add a little bit of extra – if you look closely in the upper left and lower right corners I added some paper piercing using the Essentials Paper Piercing Template, a Stampin’ Pierce Mat, and a Paper-Piercing Tool.
You can’t see it here but I stapled a piece of Whisper White card stock on the inside of my card too – so there was an easy place to write a message.
I hope you like this simple idea.
